What kind of insane argument is that?

If you order a Toyota Camry and the transporter drops off a Ferrari at your door screaming WELL IT SAYS FERRARI ON RIGHT THERE ON THE CAR isn't in any way a valid argument.

They're just going to tell you that's nice but so what that's not where the discrepancy is in the first place. The order says Toyota, the invoice say Toyota, the transport slip says Toyota, etc, etc.

Okay but Ferrari can't remotely turn that Ferrari into a Camry.
Nothing happened remotely, the discrepancy was noticed when the car was brought in for a service.
And a service center can't turn that Ferrari into a Camry, either.
What nonsense are you talking about? This sort of stuff happens in construction all the time. If the wrong materials get delivered to you site they absolutely can and will come take what you didn't pay for and bring you the correct materials.

Same thing if any enterprise hardware or software is provisioned incorrectly. Same thing with telecom.

Same thing with cars. If the wrong car gets dropped off they can and absolutely will send a truck to retrieve it.

Will they tear down the building built with those materials 3 years ago to do it?
